Abstract: A process for producing a silicone pressure sensitive adhesive is shown and described herein. The process comprises reacting a MQ silicone resin with a polydiorganosiloxane in the absence of a solvent. The MQ silicone resin is a solid, solventless MQ resin. The reaction may be conducted in the presence of a catalyst, a chain extension reagent, or a combination thereof, and the resulting pressure sensitive adhesive can be dissolved in a solvent and the solids content adjusted. The present method provides a manner to provide a cleaner adhesive material that is free of unwanted materials such as aromatic solvents and also substantially free of cyclic siloxane impurities.

Abstract: Rapidly gelling epoxy resin systems include an epoxy resin, certain acrylate-functional compounds, and a curing agent mixture that includes a thiol curing agent and an amine curing agent. Gel times well less than 1 minute can be obtained. The ratio of acrylate-functional compound to thiol curing agent can be varied to adjust the gel time to precise values within a broad range.

Abstract: An epoxy composition that includes an epoxy-terminated prepolymer, an alkanolamine hardener having at least one hydroxyl group and an organometallic compound, where amine groups of the alkanolamine hardener react with epoxy groups of the epoxy-terminated prepolymer in a stoichiometric ratio to form a cured epoxy composition. The epoxy-terminated prepolymer is formed from a reaction product of an amine terminated polymeric polyol and a molar excess of epoxy groups in an epoxy monomer, relative to a molar amount of amine groups in the amine terminated polymeric polyol.

The epoxy terminated prepolymer and an anhydride hardener react to form an epoxy elastomer composition having a microphase separated morphology of hard particles, formed with the anhydride hardener reacted with the epoxy terminated prepolymer, dispersed in a soft continuous phase formed from polymeric polyol in the epoxy terminated prepolymer.

Abstract: A flooring coating composition includes a coating agent that is a reaction product of an epoxy based formulation, the epoxy based formulation being at least one of an epoxy prepolymer formulation, an epoxy-silane hybrid formulation, and an epoxy thiol acrylate formulation. The coating agent in a cured state exhibits a first tan delta peak between a first temperature range of 75 C to 0 C and a second tan delta peak between a second temperature range of 20 C and 75 C, according to a tan delta plot over a range of temperatures. A value of the first tan delta peak and a value of the second tan delta peak each represents a ratio of a loss modulus of the coating agent and a storage modulus of the coating agent at a specific temperature within the range of temperatures, as measured according to dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The values of the first and the second tan delta peaks are from 0.10 to 0.80.
